About

Bristol Light Festival will run from 2 - 11 February 2024, across 10 days and two weekends, making it the longest running edition to date.

The festival will bring colour, light and play to city centre spaces with a series of commissions from local and internationally renowned artists.

Several never-before-seen-in-the-South-West artworks will take centre stage, including PULSE and Emergence. Festival favourite Swing Song will also make a return, produced by Bristol Light Festival and Tired Industries.

New for 2024 is an exciting collaboration with BBC Studios Natural History Unit - WILDLIGHT will bring festival goers up close and personal with lifesize projections of incredible animals using archived clips from iconic BBC Studios wildlife shows which have been transformed into light-based art especially for the festival.Visitors can see the installations illuminated from 5PM-10PM every evening from 2nd-11th February
